Just 24 hours after FIJ reported how Opeyemi Faridat Awodoyin withheld N100,000 sent to her in error, she has refunded N54,000 to Ani Gerald Chukwuebuka, a Lagos-based solar system installer.

Chukwuebuka confirmed the development to FIJ on Friday morning, noting that the partial refund was made shortly after the story gained public attention.


“Awodoyin has just refunded N54,000 out of the N100,000 to me,” he said

He explained that the payment did not come directly from Awodoyin but from her sister.

“It was her sister who transferred the money to me,” he added.

Chukwuebuka also expressed appreciation to FIJ for its role in resolving the matter.

“To the entire FIJ team that aided the swift recovery of the funds mistakenly sent to a wrong account, with a heart full of appreciation, I say a big thank you,” he said.


“I didn’t think it was going to be easy, but with the team’s undeniable effort, it seemed like a walk in the park. Again, I say thank you for doing what you know how to do best. God bless you all.”

BACKGROUND
On April 16, FIJ published a story about how Awodoyin withheld N100,000 mistakenly transferred to her by a third party meant for Chukwuebuka.

The error occurred when a friend attempting to repay Chukwuebuka inputted an incorrect account number with a one-digit difference, resulting in the funds being sent to Awodoyin instead.

After discovering he had not received the money, Chukwuebuka traced the transaction and contacted Awodoyin. She initially denied receiving the funds but later admitted to it, claiming at one point that the money had been deducted by OPay due to an outstanding debt.

Although she later agreed to refund the money in instalments during a WhatsApp conversation, she subsequently blocked Chukwuebuka when he tried to follow up on the agreement.

When FIJ reached out to Awodoyin, she didn’t respond. She cut off an initial phone call, switched off her phone afterwards and did not respond to subsequent calls or a WhatsApp message sent to her before publication.

They are the ones online shouting tinubu must continue 🤣
If them nor carry the news Now, naso she for chop the money and clean mouth.

What's the meaning of FIj

Trust Nigerians, they must have tormented her line with calls and messages. She must vomit the remaining money whether she likes it or not, shameless thief. How i wish other customers that withdraw wrongly credited money will be getting this kind of treatment

You are very gracious, definitely you are a good person.

I dont know the story, until now and still dont have details.

I can feel the pain of Chukwuebuka; but Awodoyin has definitely suffered shame in this . I dont think putting up her picture was necessary.

Hmmm, I can't blame the girl if she's truly having outstanding debt and can prove it..
Afterall she didn't force anyone to mistakenly send money to her account....

But wait... The lady is a thief, Opay doesn't deduct automatically due to debt but Pampay does....

And na these people go dey blame government…

What effort? After being dragged online her sister returned half of the money adn you have the nerve to open your mouth to say sh should be appreciated. If i could lay my hands on you ehn, you would really appreciate Seun for making this forum faceless.

It was the sister that did the transfer, not the Opeyemi herself.

For all we know, the sister might have to intervene to prevent unnecessary disgrace to the family name

After she don cast as a dishonest and greedy person

A good name is better than gold.
What is the naija society turning into.

The sister tried but the girl is a thief. Which one is opay deducted her debt? What silly excuse is that? If similar thing happened to her, will she accept such excuse? The girl na thief.

Never take what doesn't belong to you. Its pure greed and stealing. Return it.....

Monkey stole 100k but baboon refunded 54k..... Some mothers/family do have them.

They bring shame to the family and make people think their family don't care or support them.

Good job fij and the sister of the criminal.

If Nigeria is not a crime scene why didn't the police trace and arrest the thief.

Thank you for your commendation. God bless.

Things are not always what we think they are, what if Opay actually took the money from her account as a result of outstanding debt amd she doesn't have money to pay him back at that moment. You can never tell bro.

Besides, poverty make people lie, and being a liar destroyed future opportunities. The worst thing to have evee happened to a human bring is to be broke in this part of the world.

See her, shameless thief.

Anybody can make such a mistake even she herself.

Now everyone has seen her face as that of a thief

They should keep dragging her by her slippers tits and paste her wicked face everywhere till she pays all the money.

I read her Facebook page has received more than 5,000 comments of insults, mockery and curses spread across four posts.

But why are most people like this? Someone mistakenly credits your account, to refund becomes a problem, and I'm sure she go dey form rich babe on social media

What about the balance 46k. ?

Nothing to appreciate here.
Once you cut communication you have cut yourself off from integrity.
When you are liable communication is mandatory.
Now her reputation is irreparably damaged.
She has placed a glass ceiling over her destiny in this age of the internet.

That person you qouted is related to the lady if not a reasonable person shouldn't have said such. That person na dey reason we still dey where we dey for Nigeria.

Only four comments above support the actions of the criminal who doesn't want to return the money mistakenly credited to her.
It shows the criminals amongst the people in Nigeria are still a minority.

If you're related to that lady pls come out and tell us with ur full chest. I don't like cowards.

The sender deserves some blame in this. When making money transfers, we cannot afford to be callous. If you send money for someone that is looking for money to eat, it is like a prayer answered. Won't the person use some of it to buy foodstuffs first? I am not exonerating the lady for what she did, blocking the sender was not the best but the guy deserves some blame too.
What if the owner of the account that money was sent to is not even alive? Or it is a non-opay account where you cannot even contact the receiver? If you ask me, the sender should learn his lessons.

The story is very clear.

100k was mistakenly sent to her account and she decided not to return until the situation escalated to the point that her pics was put online.


She's a thief. Moo-moo girl
